Meet Tori Thompson!

Tori has held a long-standing and curious affinity for science and the microscopic unseen world that resides all around us and within us. As this affinity grew over time, she found that as much as she loved microbes and metabolites…she loved people more! Her work aims to provide digestible information (and foods!) about micronutrients and the types of foods you can incorporate daily, to set your cells up to not merely survive, but to thrive.

Academically, Tori holds a Bachelors of Science from the University of Oregon, and a Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine. She is trained to assess client diets and diagnose nutrient related morbidities and apply individualized intervention plans. Though Tori is qualified to work with people across the lifespan, her fire passion is supporting women during preconception, prenatal and immediate postpartum, specifically during lactation.

My Philosophy

Nurturing comes naturally to me; I care deeply for people, their stories and learning from them. I am committed to the health of the people I work with, and therefor the health of my community at large. Though I’m qualified to work with people across the lifespan, my fire passion resides in supporting women during preconception, prenatal and immediate postpartum, specifically during lactation.

Information on healthy eating and nutrition is abundant, contradictory and sometimes very misleading. Food trends will come and go; I believe in vetted and evidenced-based nutrition science, that which can be measured and repeated. Some food trends and diets can be extreme, restrictive and harmful. I believe in balance, imperfection and practicality when discovering what foods work best with your body. I also respect the power of intuition and subjective data that can often provide a much bigger picture to your overall health.

I live by the philosophy that food is our most fundamental form of preventive healthcare, and the cellular fuel that determines how we feel day-to-day! The particular foods that make up our diet have the ability to add to our life force, or deplete from it. I believe nutrient dense foods have the ability to change your entire physiology; in how you feel and move physically, how you function cognitively and emotionally. Food can provide the sustained energy you need for physical and psychological rigor, and it can provide a deep sense of peace and calm in the body, soothing the nervous system. When poor food choices are made, it can cause a cascade of disease and illness.

I believe your relationship to food is unique to you, beginning with the food you ate with your immediate family as a child, and shaped by the culture surrounding you. Simply, food is your friend and your tool you can use to feel better in your body! Yet, it acts not solely as a source of nutrients - it is also a source of connection, pleasure, spiritualism and sovereignty. As a nutritionist, I want to incorporate those recipes and foods that feel like home to you.

I aim to take away the stigma and mystery of nutrition, and offer information that is applicable to you in your life, to further empower you to take care of your wellbeing!
